NEW TOOLKITS by The Festival Academy

6 November 2024

The Festival Academy and the European Festivals Association together with their communities have been developing this series of toolkits. The toolkits have been created as of September 2019 within the framework of the Act for Global Change: A Global Conversation from the Arts to the World (ACT) project supported by Creative Europe 2019-21 and are being further developed within the framework of Revealing the Alliance project supported by Creative Europe 2022-24.

The aim of this platform is to provide festival experts and sector practitioners with information on current trends and inspiring examples from the industry, as well as relevant contextual information on their specific issues. With this, the toolkits are developed with the intention of enabling readers to get insights and inspiration for current and future challenges in their own practice. They include knowledge gathered in the series of activities (Ateliers, keynotes and working sessions) promoted by The Festival Academy and the European Festivals Association since September 2019, as well as information from a variety of existing research resources and sources produced and brought by their communities of Alumni, mentors, experts, speakers and festival practitioners.

Check out thew three new toolkits:

1. Festivals, Peacebuilding, and Conflict Transformation

2. Festivals and Disaster Recovery

3. Festivals and Queer* communities
